Spectators: 45 (Terracing: 35, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. 雷珂升 started the match with the kick off. Frank Sachs sent away a hard shot on goal in the 4th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. 雷珂升 scored 0-1 in the 9th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Tommy Kahn, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

Tommy Kahn showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Jan Gabrielsson in the 22nd minute of the match. If Albin Holweck had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 23rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 26 minutes into the match, Germany's goal looked a bit too open when 雷珂升 came free, but Tommy Kahn reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 33 minutes had been played when some careless play by Germany's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Jan Gabrielsson was slow to take the kick. During this time Duracell Dribblers's players had a chance to rest. After taking down the ball on Duracell Dribblers's corner Jan Gabrielsson fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and Tommy Kahn quite easily take care of the ball. When the match had gone on for 36 minutes, 雷珂升 put it in 0-3 from a short distance just to the right of Tommy Kahn. Frank Sachs recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 39th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Sven Krakouer's late challenge caught a Duracell Dribblers's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Sven Krakouer helped the player get up and apologised. In the 42nd match minute, Germany was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Sven Krakouer to maneuver through the defense. Jan Gabrielsson struck a weak shot in the 43rd minute. Tommy Kahn didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Duracell Dribblers.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Frank Sachs to make the kick off. When Duracell Dribblers's 雷珂升 in the 53rd minute got a chance for a shot 53rd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Germany's goalie prevented a goal.

In the 68th minute, one of Germany:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Germany. Germany:s Tommy Kahn showed great skill when he stopped Billy Svensson:s penalty. If Karl-Oskar Eliasson had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 73rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Germany's Tommy Kahn played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Karl-Oskar Eliasson in the 79th minute of play. Duracell Dribblers played a much better game than Germany and deserved their victory. The Germany players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
